Nice to see they're following suit. I see they will require throttle input in addition to braking, unlike Lexus that only needs brake assist. I don't see back-in parking though with their system, only parallel. I continue to use APGS 3-4 times daily, and yes it works downhill, but not uphill. The write-up is a little misleading, so we'll see what the final product looks like. I wonder when Lexus will let us have LKA.

Not bad Lexus, three years ahead of any competition...

This feature brought a lot of hype to Lexus but it is not worth the time of a car manufacturer to develop. There are a lot of other areas where they should be investing in instead.
